Which is there more of? We ask ourselves that question usually at least once every day. When it comes to the question, is there more KE, kinetic energy, or GPE, gravitational potential energy in the world, at first, I stumble for an answer. At first, you may think that there is more GPE in the world. Every day, there is someone in the world that is giving an object the potential to fall. Someone getting ready to jump off a cliff, a ripe apple about to fall from a tree, or that pile of snow that piles and piles on the branches on a tree that are groaning with the effort to not break under the strain. But then, you suddenly remember that there are plenty of everyday things that have KE, or are moving around. When you are watching a car drive by on a street, watching your friend swim a race, or your dog running around the house, are all examples of kinetic energy. When one thinks about, kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy can change into one another. In a baseball game, the pitcher uses both KE and GPE. The pitcher takes hold of the baseball and gets ready to throw it to the batter. This is demonstrating GPE. The pitcher swings round his arm and then lets the ball go hurtling towards the batter,. While the ball is flying towards home plate, there is kinetic energy around the ball. With KE and GPE all around us, it's hard to choose which one there is more of in the world. That is why I believe that there is an equal amount of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy in the world. Sometimes, there may be a little more kinetic energy than gravitational potential energy, and at other times, there is more gravitational potential energy than there is kinetic energy, but all of that levels things out. Sometimes, it just depends on the time of day when it comes to whether is more KE in the world than GPE or more GPE than KE, and that is why I believe that there is a equal amount of kinetic energy and gravitational energy in the world.
